Pick your favourite colour or simply choose one you would like to explore and let’s work! In this workshop, Tita Berredo will show the various different ways of working with the same single colour in a drawing, whether it’s finding existing things that match it or making things work within it. With fun exercises and brainstorms you will be working with shades, textures, and inventive ways of making the most of the same colour in illustration.
You will be working with a black pen for the outline, and one colour of your choice in any medium to use in various ways. Learn how to create great composition, and how to balance and generate focus with detail.
Tip: You can bring the same colour in different media (coloured pencil, crayon, pastel, ink, markers, etc.) to see the different results. If you want to work with watercolour, try using a waterproof ink pen for the outline (a black sharpie will do).
Outline: Start with introductions, then move on to some teaching and off to the practice exercises. There will be a 15 minute break for tea in the middle of the session. Some review and direction is offered at the end if wanted.
Who is this workshops suited for?
Everyone who wants to learn new drawing techniques and develop their skills and style, and most importantly have fun drawing. For beginners and experienced artists.
What to bring?
Your favourite media, a black fine liner pen or a black marker, and your sketchbook. We will have coloured pencils, crayons, black sharpies, and paper available. Also tea and biscuits for a break.
